A have a request for those of you who have already read @Tamers of Entropy I will present it at @BTC Prague and @FreedomTechSummit and I'm too deep in it, so I would like to ask you - how would you tell about what the book is about, why should people read it, or anything about it really without spoiling the story too much. Also tell me if you want to be credited or anonymous. Can be a DM if you don't want to write it publicly. I'm just looking for words here 😁

If you are at MoneroKon in Warsaw or @Bitcoin FilmFest , visit the booth of @Liberation Travel They have @Tamers of Entropy for sale, which is the best way to get it, because shipping is pain. And why? If you are into cypherpunk, the problem is you don't come into intimate contact with people who are already living it, because if they are really cypherpunk/cryptoanarchist, they don't really talk about how they view the world, and what they actually do. That's why I decided to write it in a fiction form - you can experience something I think is very close to reality, but without revealing intimate details of anyone in particular. I like to call it "documentary sci-fi", because it does not rely on any future tech, it just describes the parallel world, how it would look (or looks), how people who are living it think, etc... Hope you enjoy it, give Liberation Travel a visit. And if not, I'll be also at @BTC Prague (also Liberation Travel booth).

TIL that "honcho" comes from Japanese.

I regularly go to a social event. I regularly post on Nostr (which includes info about my blogs and podcasts). I have a list of people who attends these events and what they are interested in. I have a tool that ranks all my Nostr events and filters them for each channel. Before going to the event, I get a brief from my agent what to tell to who to make the event fun right at start, to reduce small talk and talk about the real stuff. If I posted about something on Nostr, I am into it. The AI just filters what would the other people be in and then we have a set of topics that both parties of a conversation are interested in.

Something about the visual side of @Tamers of Entropy from @No Good Kid https://dribbble.com/shots/27430508-Tamers-of-Entropy-book-by-juraj-lisa More about the book:

Who's telling me we don't have AGI? 99.9% of "IT experts" (not even talking about general population) couldn't do this, ever. And yes, this happens in other fields besides IT.

Everyone's busy building CAPTCHA gates and "verified human" badges to keep the AI slop out. Wrong target. Slop doesn't care who typed it — and human slop is older, more durable, and has tells that have held steady for a thousand years. A piece on why "who made it" tells you almost nothing about whether it's worth reading, how words get weaponized into fog, and why pinning the ugliest available label on someone is the exact opposite of looking at them. Learning to spot the fog is worth more than any badge.

Against the Human Slop – Juraj Bednar

Všetci horúčkovito stavajú CAPTCHA brány a odznaky „overený človek", aby zabránili AI braku. Mieria vedľa. Braku je jedno, kto ho naťukal — a ľudský brak je starší, odolnejší a má znaky, ktoré sa nemenia už tisíc rokov. Text o tom, prečo vám „kto to vytvoril" povie skoro nič o tom, či to stojí za prečítanie, ako sa zo slov stáva zbraň na výrobu hmly a prečo nalepiť na niekoho tú najškaredšiu dostupnú nálepku je presný opak toho, než sa naňho pozrieť. Naučiť sa rozoznať hmlu má väčšiu cenu než akýkoľvek odznak.
